Quarter-square triangles are just that - four triangles that form a square. Formerly, you had to cut all the individual triangles and sew them together to make the square, kind of touchy since you are working with all bias edges which warp and stretch and distort if you even look at them the wrong way.

Our technique for doing quarter-square triangles (qst) is the same as for the half-square triangles (hst):

Stitch two fabrics right sides together on 2-3 edges. Press the qst gridded paper onto the fabric. Sew on the dotted stitching lines, and cut on the solid cutting lines. Peel the paper off and Voila! Painless quarter-squares!

The border on this quilt was made with 5" finished quarter-square triangle blocks, with every other one turned upside down. The corners are a blue and yellow half-square triangle block. Makes it look alot more complicated than it really is. The sawtooth stars are 8" blocks made with 2" finished half-square triangles. The points came out beautifully with the Sew Easy Triangles, and no squaring up!

The stars on this quilt are made using the 4" finished Sew Easy Quarter Square Triangles. They go together in no time.
